[Bouncy Ball]

41. I love you because you are so flippin weird.

[achtung_circus]

51. Well that's just

The weird thing, not the "L" thing.

BB you free us to be our inner child. And that's fun, and that's the Lounge. There's lots of bad stuff around, the Lounge is an oasis of sane insanity. You've perked it up immensely.

Thanks for that.

[Bouncy Ball]

56. You're not weird?

Ok ok I love you because of that damn avatar! How can I resist?

And thank you from the bottom of my heart, for what you said.

[achtung_circus]

80. You are most sincerely welcome

and goodnight.

[intheflow]

31. Heh, heh! You said "Bouncy love!"

I have no idea what that means, unless it indicates I watched too many episodes of "Bevis and Butthead." But of course we love you, BB.

Though you make me feel like a total wuss only having about 2800 posts after 6 months. You put me to shame, Human! :toast:

[Bouncy Ball]

42. GET TO WORK LOSER!!!

Just kidding! Well, you gave me some Bouncy Love.

Did it feel illicit?

[intheflow]

55. What can I say?

I'm tingly all over!

Playing Bouncy Love with you is a beautiful and addicting thang!

[crispini]

32. Hi Bouncy!

LMAO.

[progmom]

52. ever so much, babycakes

Everyone has played with balls that bounce, but few people truly understand the physics behind a bouncing ball. When you hold a ball above a surface, the ball has potential energy. Potential energy is the energy of position, and it depends on the mass of the ball and its height above the surface. The formula for gravitational potential energy is PE = mgh where m is the mass of the ball measured in kg, g is the gravitational acceleration constant of 9.8 m/se c2 , and h is the height of the ball in m. As the ball falls through the air, the potential energy changes to kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is energy of motion. The formula for kinetic energy is KE=1/2 mv 2 , where m is the mass in kg and v is the velocity in m/sec 2 . Both potential and kinetic energy have units of Joules (J).

As the ball falls through the air, the Law of Conservation of Energy is in effect and states that energy is neither gained nor lost, only transferred from one form to another. The total energy of the system remains the same; the potential energy changes to kinetic energy, but no energy is lost. When the ball collides with the floor, the ball becomes deformed. If the ball is elastic in nature, the ball will quickly return to its original form and spring up from the floor. This is Newton's Third Law of Motion- for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. The ball pushes on the floor and the floor pushes back on the ball, causing it to rebound.

On a molecular level, the rubber is made from long chains of polymers. These polymers are tangled together and stretch upon impact. However, they only stretch for an instant before atomic interaction forces them back into their original, tangled shape and the ball shoots upward.

You may be wondering why the ball does not bounce back to its original height. Does this invalidate the Law of Conservation of Energy? Where did that energy go? The energy that is not being used to cause motion is changed to heat energy or sound energy. After playing a game of tennis or racquetball, you will notice that the ball is warmer at the end of the game than at the beginning because some of the motion energy has been changed to heat energy. Because bouncy balls have tightly linked polymers, most of the energy is transferred back to motion so little is lost to heat or sound energy, and the ball bounces well. This is the way the Happy Ball behaves.

[Bouncy Ball]

57. What? Oh, sorry I fell asleep there for a while.

Now what were you saying?

:loveya:

[progmom]

73. I googled "bouncy ball"...

...and it came up with some kind of experiment using happy and sad balls. I liked the first line about how everyone has played with balls...

[Left Is Write]

60. Hi.

[Bouncy Ball]

66. You hate me.

[Left Is Write]

68. Yep. That's me. Full of piss and vinegar and hatred.

Really defines me, don't you think?

[Bouncy Ball]

71. I think you should add "bile"

you little cupcake you!

:hug:

Thanks for posting in my thread! I made it to 6000!

[jpgray]

61. I fucking hate you

But by dragging you into a flame war, such a statement will result in more posts for you, which inevitably shows mine to be the truest and most pure of loves in existence.

:silly:

[Bouncy Ball]

65. MMMMWAAA.

I plant a big wet kiss right on your cute little face.

(Damn. Not a good start to a flame war.)

[jpgray]

69. Unfortunately, my heart belongs to someone else

Who is currently about 1800 miles away.

[Bouncy Ball]

72. I bet I'm closer!!!!!

Can I tempt ya?

I'm just being awful tonight. Sorry your sweetie is so far away.

[Bouncy Ball]

70. This thread has 69 replies.

And I just ate two chocolate covered strawberries.

And thought about the lounge whilst I did it.

[texas1928]

95. Nope it has 95

you missed.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

74. I love you!

Anyone who calls themselves Bouncy Ball is alright in my book. :)

You know I've been here longer and don't think I have 2000 post yet. Either I'm a slacker or you're a postaholic! :P

[Bouncy Ball]

75. I'm a slacker!!!

Which means you are DEAD!!!

Don't DIE!!! Come back to life! Go on a posting binge!!!

(No I just talk a lot.)

And I love you too! :loveya:

[Bouncy Ball]

76. I'm a slacker!!!

Which means you are DEAD!!!

Don't DIE!!! Come back to life! Go on a posting binge!!!

(No I just talk a lot.)

And I love you too! :loveya:

[angstlessk]

79. Do you dance with 'who brung you' or any available dancer?

And of course the next question is, with whom do you go home? Them who brung you or who ever you feel like going home with? I am still dancing with my eyes closed, and STILL NOT BEING ELAINE.

[Bouncy Ball]

82. In the lounge, we are total whores.

We dance with everyone. Free love baby. We're liberals, get it? We just end up humping the couch if there's no one nearby.

I'm so damn punchy!

LOL!

Don't protest too much about the Elaine thing, it makes me start to wonder, even though I thought Elaine's dance was adorable.

I think of bettyellen as a very liberal version of Elaine.

[Rabrrrrrr]

86. Woo hoo! No one can find the romantic poetry like you can!

[Bouncy Ball]

87. MMMMMMWAAAA!!

Big kisses for Rabrrrrrr. I'm over 6000 dude!

On edit, I mean big kisses dripping with goat blood and bile!

[Rabrrrrrr]

89. Whew! For a moment, I thought you meant icky plain girl germ kisses

Yuck!

But you meant romantic lovey-dovey kisses!

Congratulations on going over 6,000! I hope an Ibex spears you through the heart and tramples on your intestines in an unholy dance in celebration of the animal victory of humanity's evil fornication of wildlife after they spill out of your ripped open flesh of pain and agony with much blood and screaming and angels being set on fire, only to run into oprhanages and set them ablaze in their flame-blinded pain.

[Bouncy Ball]

91. You just love talking dirty to me, don'tcha?

:loveya: You know how to get to a woman Rabrrrrrr. How DOES your lady ever resist you?

[Lilith Velkor]

90. Not yet

That time you transformed into Happy Fun Ball kinda freaked me out.

But, maybe we could, like, lick each other or something...see what happens....

[Bouncy Ball]

92. Hey that sounds ok

I'm up for it.

Lick, lick. You taste like cork.

[Lilith Velkor]

93. Haven't been to Ireland in years

But they say the smell never really goes away.

Is that patchouli?

[Bouncy Ball]

94. What's patchouli?

I've always wanted to know. Perfect time to ask.

[loudestchick]

97. Yes, I love BB. I admit it. Also, I'm running up my post count .
